Discover the cool wines and warm hearts of Macedon Ranges winemakers at their annual wine festival, BUDBURST, this spring.

Budburst is a once-a-year opportunity to step behind the vines and meet the family-owned and small-batch makers who shape mainland Australia’s coolest wine region.

Across the weekend, more than 25 Macedon Ranges winemakers will open their wineries and cellar doors to wine enthusiasts. From 10am and 5pm Saturday and Sunday, you can enjoy wine tastings, curated food menus championing local produce, art shows, sculptor walks and live music.

Explore at your own pace or jump on one of the Budburst bus routes. For more information about the festival and the different bus routes visit budburst.com.

All tickets include a Plumm crystal tasting glass to keep, festival passport and wine tastings at all participating wineries.
